Yuzu liqueur built from the peel
Extracting peel, oil and juice separately
Yuzu peel is macerated in alcohol and distilled into a citrus spirit. Steam-distilled natural aroma oil and yuzu juice are then blended in, creating several distinct layers of fragrance.
Distilling a spirit from yuzu peel
Maceration and distillation capture the peel’s complex citrus and subtle sweet-spice notes.
Adding natural oil and juice
Essential oil lifts the aroma while juice brings acidity, helping the yuzu remain clear with soda or tonic.
Enough structure to serve on the rocks or in cocktails
At 16% ABV, the liqueur carries its aroma with enough body to work both on its own and in mixed drinks.
Vivid yuzu, sweet spice and citrus peel
Pale yellow, with an immediate rush of yuzu followed by essential-oil depth and a suggestion of sweet spice. Sweetness, acidity and bitterness stay in balance, leaving a clean peel note through the finish.

Four directions guided by yuzu peel and sweet spice
Food affinities for Yuzu Rocks are not a pairing the producer has presented officially, but a reading drawn from the characteristics recorded on this page. The vivid citrus character built from distilled peel, natural oil and juice, together with a balance of sweetness, acidity and bitterness, runs through the four directions below.
Matching aroma works as a simple overlap in cases like citrus, but the structure of a pairing is set by the balance of sweetness, acidity and bitterness. Yuzu’s citrus aroma is used here as a starting point, alongside the structural balance in which acidity and bitterness meet richness across the four directions.
